In one example, a method for optimizing operational parameters of a hardware implemented telemetry system is provided. The operational parameters can include a performance characteristic, an energy use, data creation, and a cost. The operation parameters are monitored. The method further includes adjusting a balance between the operational parameters in accordance with a predetermined operational guideline.

Systems and methods for evaluating and transmitting combined external data from one or more assets are described herein. An example method may include collecting, by a data processing device communicatively coupled to a central data portal, sensor data from one or more assets, processing, by the data processing device, the sensor data to evaluate status data concerning status of the one or more assets, transmitting, by the data processing device, the status data to the central data portal, and storing and visualizing, by the central data portal, the status data. The data processing device can be co-located with one of the assets. The assets may be selected from a building, a room, outdoor location, a vehicle, a person, an indoor location, and an outdoor location.

A method includes computing electrical phase of electrical metering devices including obtaining data indicating zero-crossing times at first and second metering devices. A time difference between the zero-crossing times may be determined. In a first example, the time difference may be based at least in part on calculations involving a first value of a first free-run timer on a first metering device, a second value of a second free-run timer on a second metering device, the time of reception of a packet, and a latency defined by a time taken for the packet to propagate through at least one layer of at least one of the first metering device and the second metering device. A phase difference between the first zero-crossing and the second zero-crossing may be determined, based at least in part on the determined time difference.

A system to control and to monitor the entirety of a sanitary facility by using various specialized connected devices that are distributed throughout the sanitary facility, communicating with one another and over the internet network. Each one of these connected devices carries out its function or functions by using the information communicated by the other connected devices. Each one of these connected devices carries out its function or some of its functions independently in the event of a breakdown in the communication with the other connected devices. From the mobile or fixed apparatuses such as a Smartphone, touchscreen tablet, computer, server, etc. that are connected to the Internet, the user or users can interact with the connected devices, can be alerted in real time to malfunctions, and can receive information regarding the condition of the sanitary facility.

An apparatus for managing aircraft health data includes a wireless network server disposed onboard an aircraft, and at least one wireless condition monitoring device disposed onboard the aircraft, wirelessly connected to the wireless network server and configured to transmit respective health data to the wireless network server based on a communication scheme that maintains an availability of an aircraft wireless network.

A method, computer-readable medium, and device for deploying virtual network functions in response to detecting an emergency event are disclosed. A method may detect an emergency event associated with a first location, deploy a first virtual network function on a first host device of the wireless network in a central zone associated with the first location, in response to detecting the emergency event, and configure a first alarm threshold for the first virtual network function that is indicative of a type loading condition at the first virtual network function. The method may further deploy a second virtual network function on a second host device of the wireless network in a second zone and configure a second alarm threshold for the second virtual network function that is indicative of the type of loading condition at the second virtual network function.

A submarine gas-leakage monitoring system for long-term detection of gas and a method of operating the same are disclosed. The submarine gas-leakage monitoring system includes: a buoy equipped with a satellite communication unit to transmit acquired data to a satellite or to receive a command for activation or inactivation of a first submarine sensor from the satellite when the buoy is raised to float on the seawater surface; a seabed observation unit located close to a seabed, the seabed observation unit acquiring and storing information about gas leakage from the seabed and controlling the buoy such that the buoy is raised or lowered; and a signal cable equipped with the first submarine sensor that detects migration or diffusion of leaked gas and connected between the buoy and the seabed observation unit to allow a signal transmission between the buoy and the seabed observation unit.

A modification of a sensor data management system to enable discrete sensor applications. A sensor data control system enables discrete sensor applications to control the configuration, collection, processing, and distribution of sensor data produced by selected sensors at various monitored locations. The sensor service offered by the sensor data control system can be leveraged by any sensor application having an interest in any part of one or more monitored locations.

A sensor system is provided for monitoring anti-personnel effectiveness of a gun that fires a projectile against a mannequin target. The system includes an instrumentation sensor, an aggregation controller and a base station. The instrumentation sensor is disposed on the target. The sensor transmits a status condition based on electrical integrity. The status condition is either intact as default or else disablement in response to impact from the projectile. The aggregation controller receives the status condition from the sensor and transmits the status information as aggregated information. The base station receives the aggregated information for analysis to determine the effectiveness in response to the gun firing at the target.

Provided is a method and system for collecting sensor data using a data channel and a control channel. The method and system construct an appropriate and efficient communication environment when there are several sensors corresponding to one gateway in order to collect measured data from the sensors, by using a separate control channel for general control communication and a data channel for data communication to transmit data after confirming whether the data channel is available through the control channel in the communication between a gateway and sensors.
